Saya waved his hand and pointed to a bubble tea shop not far away. Kaguya nodded somewhat timidly, and led Saya to the entrance of the bubble tea shop before letting go of his little hand that she had been holding.

"What would you like to drink? It's on me, okay?"

Saya greeted Kaguya first, then ordered a regular iced cola for herself. Yunye, meanwhile, glanced at the couples huddled together, sharing a drink through a connected straw, and gave Saya a reproachful yet shy look through her sunglasses. Was this guy doing it on purpose? Was he hinting at something?

Chapter 180 As Long As She Likes It

Kaguya hesitated for a long time, but in the end she just ordered a regular lemonade.

She hadn't tried many other drinks and didn't know if she could handle them.

Kaguya took a small sip of ice water through the straw to calm herself down. She looked at Saya sitting opposite her, who was holding a cola. When she noticed his gaze on her, she couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on me?" Kaguya asked Saya in a low voice, glancing down at him and not finding anything amiss.

"I just feel that you're no different from any other girl now, much easier to get along with." Sawa finished his cola in one breath before revealing the reason why he had been looking at her so much.

"Are you implying that I was difficult to get along with before?"

Kaguya gave him a disapproving look. Although what he said was true, it still made people very unhappy.

"To be honest, there is a bit of that. I feel like you're a little too self-centered."

Saya looked at her seriously and said, "But before I could finish, Kaguya kicked my shin hard under the table with her little foot."

"You actually said that? What's wrong with being a little selfish? Does one have to live for others?" Somewhat annoyed, Kaguya pushed the lemonade aside and stood up.

Look, like you are now, I'm just telling the truth, but you're reacting like this, what can I do?"

Sawa shrugged.

"If you don't know what to do, then leave. Your job is to continue shopping with me."

After hearing Saya's words, Kaguya paused for a moment, then turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to talk to him.

"Okay, whatever makes you happy."

Saya shook his head and stood up as well. After glancing at the crowded shopping mall, he took a step forward and took Kaguya's hand. Kaguya, who had been somewhat annoyed, almost cried out when she felt Saya's action. However, when she turned around and saw Saya's nonchalant face, she realized that he hadn't thought much of it and it was just an instinctive action. Even so, the slight annoyance she had felt towards Saya vanished, and she regained her energy, strolling aimlessly through the mall hand in hand with him. After wandering around with Kaguya for another half hour, Saya finally couldn't help but ask her. "She's just looking at the clothes hanging outside the whole time, without even going in to look at them. Will she really be able to find something she likes if she chooses like this?"

Or is this guy already planning to buy this entire shopping mall? Otherwise, why would he be so picky about clothes?

"I like it, is that not allowed?"

Deep down, Kaguya knew that the reason she wanted to do this was simply to experience the feeling of holding hands with Sawa for a longer time. She rolled her eyes and said somewhat willfully.

"You just said I was selfish, now I'll show you how selfish I can be."

Sawa knew that girls usually hold grudges, but he still didn't expect Kaguya to be so vengeful.

"Oops, I was wrong, okay? Kaguya, you're the most selfless and considerate girl I know. That's what I love most about you, okay?" Saku thought she was getting revenge on him this way, so he could only sigh and immediately adopt a submissive attitude.

"Next time you lie, don't try so hard. Maybe you're really not good at it." Kaguya laughed at Saya's emotionless flattery. Saya's lack of romantic understanding was almost becoming his defining characteristic. How could there be such a clueless guy in this world?

On this point alone, Kaguya wanted to question whether he was truly a normal human being.

"No, that's the truth. I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart."

"Fine, I forgive you. But I've already decided what kind of clothes I should choose."

Kaguya waved her hand. There were plenty of people who flattered her, but Saya was the only one like her.

However, it must be said that Kaguya is indeed susceptible to his charm.

Kaguya, who had already noticed that many men and women in the mall were wearing the same style of clothing, narrowed her eyes and looked at a rather modest stall selling sportswear and casual wear.

"You actually decided what you wanted to buy? I thought you were just browsing around."

After making a comment, Saya let Kaguya take his hand and lead him to the clothing store next door.

"You would still choose clothes from a place like this?"

Saku, beginning to suspect that something might be wrong with Kaguya, frowned. It wasn't that he looked down on the shop, but given that Kaguya had chosen him, he really didn't have any ulterior motives.

"Nobody said that the heiress of a conglomerate can't like these things, right?"

Kaguya went straight over and picked up a red T-shirt with a half-heart design, then gestured to another black shirt with a half-heart design before placing both shirts in front of Saya.

Kaguya kept the red one for herself and handed the other to Saya, speaking to him in a tone that sounded almost commanding.

"No, I bought you clothes, Ruo. Why are you getting them for me too?" Saku took the clothes with a forced smile. Judging from Kaguya's expression, did she want to form some kind of duo with him? A male and female duo?

Or is it just being clueless and unhappy?

Sawa wasn't entirely sure if he was smart or not, but Kaguya was often unhappy about it. And most importantly, he had clearly said it would be best to pick a dress; if he was only given a T-shirt, then the dress would have to be delivered again.

Saya, feeling he was at a disadvantage no matter what, was about to suggest to Kaguya that they change into something better, something nicer. But when he looked up, he saw Kaguya holding the dress up in the mirror as if she had found her most prized possession. Touched by the unprecedented smile on her face, Saya swallowed the words he was about to say.

Never mind, as long as she's happy.

Chapter 181 Are there really people who target the mentally challenged?

In the end, Saya couldn't stop Kaguya from buying the T-shirt that, in his opinion, had rather poor taste; he even had to buy one for himself. As for the skirt she was going to wear, Kaguya had no desire to choose, saying that she could just grab any one from her closet.

Saya was thinking, "If that's the case, why not pick out an outfit for the upper body from the wardrobe as well?" However, under Kaguya's pressure and wanting to end things as soon as possible, he ultimately chose to give up his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical remarks).

Following behind Kaguya, who was carrying a bag containing the matching couple's outfit, Saku walked with her towards the mall's exit.

"Kaguya, are you satisfied today?"

Saya, sensing that Kaguya's joy was practically written all over her face, looked at Kaguya with doting eyes and asked her about her shopping experience.

Kaguya smiled, almost as if she were skipping along. If Saya hadn't firmly refused, she would have almost forced him to change into the same outfit as her.

"I would be even more satisfied if you could cooperate a little more."

Strong and composed, Kaguya turned her head, held the bag up in front of her, and shook it before speaking.

"Spare me, I still have to enchant the clothes for you when I get back. Are you just going to take them off and give them to me? Or do you not mind?" Sōyu covered his forehead. All he wanted to do now was to finish enchanting the clothes he had promised Kaguya and then go to that hospital to catch that hidden vampire.

Sure enough, compared to shopping with women, fighting strange creatures is more likely to attract his attention.

"You were able to consider this? Well, that means my consideration for you wasn't wasted, which is why I decided to end this shopping trip."

Kaguya blushed a little at Saya's words. Of course, it was impossible for her to just hand over her used T-shirt that she had just taken off to Saya.

It was fortunate that he had thought of that. Just as the two were preparing to go to the parking lot to find Reisen and go back, some noise came from not far away, attracting their attention. A distinctive, slightly silly voice came from a dessert shop not far away, causing Kaguya and Saya to exchange a glance.

Judging from the voice, it must be that idiot in the class, right? Before Saya could even speak, Kaguya had already grabbed his hand and led him over. Although she didn't care about anyone else's business besides Saya, and she didn't want him to get involved, knowing his personality, she knew that once his curiosity was piqued, nothing could stop him from watching the drama unfold. Rather than stop him from going, she might as well go with him and see what was going on. A crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside the dessert shop. After Saya and Kaguya forced their way in, they finally saw what was happening inside. Just as Saya and Kaguya had guessed, one of the people involved was Aqua, the high priestess of the Axis Church where they worked. And the other person next to her, although Saya didn't recognize him, was a boy who looked to be in middle school, who was currently holding onto Aqua's sleeve very tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Sister, please stop joking. You were the one who wanted to eat that ice cream, but now that it's time to pay, why are you suddenly trying to renege on your debt?"

With a slightly amused smile on his face, the boy with the blue, seaweed-like haircut spoke to Aqua, who was still struggling.

"Are you kidding me? An ice cream costs 500,000 yen? Why don't you just rob someone? And that was clearly you breathing in, so of course I assumed you gave it to me!"

Akuru looked at the clueless boy with an air of self-righteousness, and even licked the remaining cream from the ice cream from the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, the ice cream was pretty good. It was one of the best she had ever had.

"Please, I'm just a kid. You took it and ate it yourself and you're trying to deny it. The price tag over there is clearly marked." The blue-haired boy pointed to the tag under the ice cream that had been eaten down to the plate, and his expression became even more delighted.

"You're slandering me!" Aqua rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach this kid who was defaming her a lesson, but then she saw two towering figures rise up from behind the boy.

"Then let's continue to reason with each other."

Aqua's momentum immediately deflated, and she looked like she was about to cry. Her voice weakened. Meanwhile, Saiyu, standing to the side, stroked his chin, seemingly unwilling to say anything.

Based on the current situation, it seems this idiot got scammed? But where is his owner? Surely no one would really leave a mentally challenged person alone in this kind of situation.

Let's stroll around?

She's a real beauty, okay? But when Sawa turned around to see what Kaguya had to say, he could see the disdain in her eyes even through her sunglasses.

"How did I run into that annoying, disgusting guy again? What bad luck," Kaguya muttered under her breath before turning to look at Saya, who was staring at her.

"Looks like our High Priest has run into a smooth-talking guy. If nothing unexpected happens, he's going to get played and teased by him. Aren't you going to teach him a lesson, Youjun?"

Kaguya, clutching the clothes she had bought and huddled under Saya the whole time to avoid being touched by other onlookers trying to squeeze in, raised an eyebrow at Saya, awaiting his reply.

Before Sōyū could speak, the two on the other side continued.

"Reason? Sister, before we talk about reason, it would be better if you paid the money first. After all, this is my family's shop. If you keep refusing to pay back the money, it will be very difficult for me."

He took a piece of cherry blossom from a stack of cakes and put it in his mouth, a sinister smile that seemed out of place for someone his age appearing on the boy's face.

Aqua stammered, saying that she did indeed have such a sum of money, but it was reserved for a trip with Yamami, and she had sworn never to touch it again.

"Well, who told you to eat it? But luckily you ran into me. I don't like to make things difficult for others. How about you give me a kiss, and we'll call it even. Consider the cake my treat." The blue-haired boy looked at the long, light blue-haired girl before him and said with narrowed eyes. The onlookers had lost interest; it turned out to be just a kid from the Gao family trying to play a joke. He spent nearly 500,000 yuan on a cake just to get a kiss from this girl. Who knows who really profited? He's definitely a young master from a wealthy family; his hobbies are so bizarre. If it were any other girl, she might have kissed him into bankruptcy.

Half of the onlookers, who had expected to witness the legendary scene of a bully abducting a woman, dispersed. Perhaps what follows will develop into a romantic comedy?

Or perhaps it was simply a sweet trap set by the boy to woo the girl. The blue-haired boy, squinting at the onlookers, smiled even more broadly. These lowly commoners were so easy to fool. He then turned his gaze to Aqua, who had become hesitant after hearing his words, and subtly licked his lips. She was still just a child; he didn't believe this little rabbit wouldn't take the bait. If she really came over and kissed him, it would only be a matter of time before he devoured her.

No, even if she refused, it wouldn't matter. After all, she was just a lowly commoner. Completely unaware of the guy's scheme, Aqua hesitated for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and looking at the blue-haired boy with the scallop-like hairstyle opposite her. Just when he thought this seemingly dim-witted little beauty was about to agree, Aqua did something that left him utterly bewildered.

Aqua quickly pulled out her phone and dialed one of the numbers.

Is he trying to call for help or borrow money? It's a pity that no woman he's set his sights on has ever managed to escape from him.

The blue-haired boy didn't try to stop Aqua; whoever she called wouldn't change her fate.

Saya's phone rang at an inopportune moment amidst the crowd. After he answered the call, enduring the suspicious looks from the others, Aqua's idiotic voice finally came through the phone.

"Hey, Sawa, that buy-one-get-one-free promotion from last time has expired. When are you going to pay your membership fee? I won't rip you off. It's still the original price, 500,000 yen."

Chapter 182 So it was you, kid?

"Okay, that's enough. No need to say anything more or explain anything further."

Zuo You's lips twitched as he stepped out from the crowd. He hadn't expected that this guy would immediately turn to him. Did this guy think he was just a sucker for money?

"Come help me!" Aqua didn't feel the shame of being exposed. Instead, she waved to Saya with a relieved expression and pleaded for help with a pitiful look on her face.

As for why Sawa is here...

"Oh? Sir, are you trying to stand up for her? Or are you trying to pay back the money for her?"

The blue-haired boy beside him frowned, a hint of disgust flashing across his handsome face before quickly replaced by a fake smile. He then questioned Zuo You, who had emerged from the crowd.

Saya, however, acted as if she hadn't seen him at all and walked up to Aqua.
